I will take a stab in the dark here and say that Mr. opinion was never a fully trained University educated Engineer that finished his course...

My brother, Uncle and two cousins are all university trained Engineers.
One is heavily involved in natural gas exploration and provision in Australia. One is an electronic engineer working with the communications sector. The other two work as mechanical engineers in the mining industry. None have ever been out of a job and all are top in their field.
Is that why you are so upset about Engineers Mr. Opinion, because you feel jealous?

As for my posts about your constant references to the dreaded Chinese people, where have I ever given support either way to China? I just can't stand racists of any origin.

Dear Suseonline,

In actual fact I came very close to not completing my engineering degree. At the end of my final year I decided to walk away from it with only one three hour semester unit of study to complete and just travel around Australia because I had asked myself if I really wanted to be stuck in a second rate profession for the rest of my life.

I got back home after two years and was sitting in a pub when I decided to go back and finish it. So they rushed me into the second half of the final semester and I completed the outstanding subject. That's how I became an engineer. And that's how I got to be stuck in a second rate profession for the last forty years.

Dear Is Mise,

I started to study Chinese when I was in Arts but decided to drop it after two weeks because it is such an ugly language.

Dear Suseonline,

With you having two brothers working as engineers in the mining sector it is now easy to see where your pro-China attitude comes from. A case of don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Opinion,

Ho hum (yawn).

Dear Is Mise,

I'm sorry you find my story so boring. I hope you have never had the misfortune of doing engineering as well. You couldn't be that unlucky could you? If you are then that makes two of us.
